The Church Is In Christ, As Eve

Man Doth Seek A Triple Perfection: First A Sensual, Consisting In Those Things Which Very Life Itself Requireth Either As Necessary Supplements, Or As Beauties And Ornaments Thereof; Then An Intellectual, Consisting In Those Things Which None Underneath Man Is Either Capable Of Or Acquainted With; Lastly A Spiritual And Divine, Consisting In Those Things Whereunto We Tend By Supernatural Means Here, But Cannot Here Attain Unto Them.

I Observe There Is In Mr. Hooker No Affected Language; But A Grave, Comprehensive, Clear Manifestation Of Reason, And That Backed With The Authority Of The Scriptures, The Fathers And Schoolmen, And With All Law Both Sacred And Civil.

The Reason Why The Simpler Sort Are Moved By Authority Is The Consciousness Of Their Own Ignorance

He That Goeth About To Persuade A Multitude That They Are Not So Well Governed As They Ought To Be Shall Never Want Attentive And Favorable Hearers.

See We Not Plainly That Obedience Of Creatures Unto The Law Of Nature Is The Stay Of The Whole World?
